CREATING AND FABRICATING JEWELRY IN MY STUDIO IS MY ZEN.
When I think of designing and fabricating jewelry, I think of Excitement, Exploration, and Transformation.
I am a self-taught Silversmith. I have been practicing the art form of Metalsmithing for approximately 10 years. Over this time I have been exploring many styles of metalsmithing and taking in-person workshops and classes to learn different processes working with sterling silver. Currently my designs reflect leaves, nature, organic objects, Turquoise, and other semi-precious stones. I fabricate my own elements including chains. I also repurpose sterling silver scrap as much as I can. My studio is my sanctuary. I love creating and exploring the process of working with sterling silver. I teach Non-Traditional Beginning Metalsmithing classes through Adult Education at the Holter Museum of Art.
